Ok, I first apologize for not using the correct verbage in my first post. I do need to be much more detailed when I explain what it is I am tryin to do.

Also, I do not hold everyone here to any kind of standard? I do however feel 99% of stovebolters are decent, fair, intelligent people trying to pass on information to others.

WHen I asked about aluminum pistons, I was tryng to learn the differences between what was available in pistons in the rebuild kits out there. I grew up on a grain farm here in Central NJ, my first two engine rebuilds were a Massey Harris Tractor and an Old Mack my friends grandfather wanted to restore. Think it was from the 1930's? The other engines were modern lawn tractor and truck engines. I noticed the kits offered three different kinds of pistons, but only one description said aluminum? Wanted to make sure i understood what I was reading so as to make an intelligent and informed decision. Thank you to all who replied with positive info. NO hard feeling guys. Brian
